Chris and his team show up when they say they will, do good work and do it at the price they quote. What more can you ask for?

I was driving on the highway and I was already going 80 in the fast lane. I look back and see there's a truck tailgating me. This continues for a few miles during when he flashed his high beams multiple times and kept following me closely. I merge to the middle lane just to get away from him and eventually merge all the way to the right lane and get off on the Seaside off ramp. Then I see the truck speed up in the opposite lane while I'm exiting and the man driving sticks his middle finger up. I then looked down at the truck and noticed a company logo. And here we are. I don't know if that man was the owner or an employee or what. But I do know that if you're gonna drive like an ass backwards fuckwit, maybe it's not the best idea to do it in a company car.

Excellent experience, from start to finish. Chris was great in assessing the work required and coordinating related efforts. All workers were professional and courteous. Spencer was especially resourceful and conscientious, going the extra mile to ensure the job was done properly and to our satisfaction. Couldn't be happer!

Chris M is such a pleasure to work with. He's very professional and friendly. He's very dependable when in need. He did a fantastic job lighting up my parking lot I'm completely happy and satisfied with the job. Thanks to him I feel safe & secure. I highly recommend him for any of your electrical needs!!

These guys are the best in the business!
Chris Searle, James Jones and Justin do excellent work.
Super fair pricing and professional work!!

After the crazy winds and storms of mid February, my 90-year old friend in Pebble Beach was amongst hundreds without power for 5 days. The saturated ground coupled with winds wreaked havoc on the community. My friend had a Monterey Pine fall across her driveway, severing the power lines to her house. Late on Saturday, PG&E informed us that an electrician was needed to repair the power receptacle on the roof. It was pretty torn up. Chris Searle was our angel to the rescue early on Sunday morning. He made the repairs and coordinated with PG&E, letting them know the house was ready for reconnection. We are forever grateful to Chris and his company, and wouldn't think of using another electrician when in need.

Mr. Searle called me right back, came straight over after his work that day to see what the problem was, and had new wall heaters installed the following day! Even in a house of kids and a loud dog he stayed calm and got it all done fast. We really appreciated it, since the main bedroom was freezing at night. It is now very warm. Such a great family business.

Flake! Unprofessionalism, rudeness, and false promises... all qualities of my experience Dan Searle's services.

Thank you so much for coming out on short notice to inspect an electrical plug. You put our minds to ease. Courteous, friendly & professional.

I have worked with Searle Electric twice. The first time was challenging. I was happy with the work but unhappy with dealings with the management.
I just had Searle come back for a second time. This time was much different. The work was very thorough and all interactions with the owner and the person who did the work were very good. My power had gone out -- and Dan, the owner sent someone out that day -- so that I could get my refrigerator turned back on. I had more work than needed but that was due to my mistake, not theirs. I recommend Searles highly.I intend to call on them whenever I need work in the future.
